Feeling drunk, but I'm sober?

I feel kind of dizzy and basically like I've been drinking, but I'm completely sober. At first I thought it was because I missed a dose of buspirone, but I've taken the dose now and still feel the same. And besides, it takes more than a few hours for medication to leave your system.

Any ideas of what this could be/ how to feel "sober" again?

Light headed due to lack of food/standing up too quickly?

Could be anything - lack of sleep, low blood sugar (see if it improves with eating), low blood pressure, dehydration, an ear infection... I feel like this before I get a migraine too sometimes!

Buspirone can also cause vertigo methinks which could explain this feeling. If it gets worse or you're concerned then you should go and see your GP.

Yep, i had 4 hours sleep max before uni one day and I felt SO out of it, exactly like i had had a few drinks but obviously hadnt. I also get this as the odd side effect on some tablets - tablets I take all the time but only feel like this once or twice a year, very strange.

And yeh as Bubble Toes said you could just be out of balance with a number of things, blood sugar/pressure (again i get this particularly pressure if I havent eaten for a couple of hours or not yet had breakfast and then do exercise/shower which is apparently common in females particularly in teens/twenties).

Had any grapefruit juice? It leads to dramatically increased plasma levels of buspirone.

Or it could possibly be a withdrawal reaction because of your delayed dose.

Or it might be a totally separate health problem.

I'd suggest if your feeling of drunkness gets any worse, or if it's not getting better after a couple of hours from now, or if you develop a headache, you should GO STRAIGHT TO A&E to be on the safe side.
